Cheered on by 35 family members and friends among the crowd for the game, Brent Strom, who is a native and resident of San Diego, pitched the Padres to a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers in a duel with Don Sutton. Strom had lost one previous start since being called up from Hawaii (Pacific Coast), but the lefthander this time yielded only four hits, with the Dodgers' run coming on a homer by Steve Garvey in the second inning.

Sutton also gave up only four hits, but Willie McCovey tied the score with a circuit clout in the fourth and the Padres put over the winning run in the sixth on a pass to Gene Locklear, sacrifice by Mike Ivie and single by Tito Fuentes. [The Sporting News]
